ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To discuss the effects of breast-conserving therapy in Chinese women with early primary breast carcinoma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Ninety-five patients with stage I to II primary breast cancer were operated with wide local excision and axillary lymph node dissection. After operation, the radiation therapy was done on the whole breast.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Breast conservation surgery was taken successfully in ninety-five patients. Six months after operation, the approval rate for their breast was 100% by themselves. Ninety-two per cent of them were very satisfactory. After a median follow-up of 17 months (range 2 - 51 months), only one patient suffered from ipsilateral breast tumor relapse. The two years local relapse rate was 1.4%. There were no cases of distant relapse and death.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The early results of breast-conserving therapy are satisfactory for stage I to II primary breast cancer. The long-term follow-up is needed for the final outcome.</p>
